We start from Mühldorf via Trandorf up to the Nonnersdorf Cross, where we enjoy a magnificent view of the foothills of the Alps on the descent towards Nonnersdorf. Through Nonnersdorf and Felbring, we immerse ourselves in the mystical forests of the Jauerling, reaching the pilgrimage site Maria Laach and then the Hochjauerling. Here we have a prime vantage point: we overlook the Wachau valley with the Danube and the vineyard terraces. In clear weather, we can see as far as Vienna. From there, the route continues along part of the Weinsteintour back to Mühldorf.
A respectful coexistence with other forest users or the hunting and forestry staff is as natural as avoiding litter. The Biker Fair Play rules are meant to embody these principles and can be found both on analog maps and various websites. Here are the rules in detail:

Respectful interaction with landowners and hunting and forestry personnel!
Consideration for other forest users!
Ride at half visibility with controlled speed!
Be cautious of work machines, wood or potholes on the road, pasture animals, and motor vehicle traffic (forest roads are work areas and workplaces)!
Observe traffic regulations!

Riding off the routes and outside the permitted times is illegal. Observe bans and closures!
